About the Park
Set within The Vineyards community near Lake Wylie, this off-leash park gives local dogs room to move without a leash. Access is free, since it operates as a public park, so residents and visitors can drop in without planning around a fee. Fencing here is not confirmed in our records, so keep an eye on your dog until you have checked the boundaries yourself on a first visit. The surrounding Piedmont climate brings warm, humid summers, which makes early mornings and evenings the easier times to let a dog stretch out. Bring your own water and waste bags, and confirm current rules with the community before arriving.
